I love Rod & Staff science textbooks for grades 3-6. Why? Mainly because they get done. I know hands-on science would be better but something is better than nothing. Also, there is a reverence for God as the creator without religion being shoved in your face.
So, why did I buy Science in the Beginning if I love R&S so much? Back when I read through R&S with one of my other students, I found that the love affair ended after grade 6. I don't know what it was about the grade 7 book but it just didn't click. I wasn't able to find another science textbook that would work as a bridge between elementary school and high school textbooks. I am hoping Science in the Beginning can fill the gap and help me to be more hands-on with science.
At the moment we are doing an Earth Science unit (mountains, earthquakes, waterfalls, oceans, storms, weather patterns, and atmosphere) in R&S 5.
